Firm lump at muscle tendon after gynecomastia surgery 11 days ago. Will it improve and what can I do to help? (photo)

Following liposuction, you can develop lumpy hard areas which can cause some restriction of movement. Massaging these areas will help to soften the underlying scarring that is developing and this can take some weeks to months to settle down. Generally, as the scarring softens and you get less discomfort, it will result in more movement. As you move your arm more, this will cause more of the inflammation to dissipate and eventually soften the area.I would continue with the massaging regularly and wear the compression garments - you might find skins are more comfortable compared to the garments and this could help. I hope this is of help to you BW

A plastic surgeon can perform a physical exam to determine and to show the patient if there is swelling, residual fat, scarring, lymphatic fluid, seroma, hematoma or any other type of build up.  Swelling is very common after gynecomastia surgery and many men feel as though they are getting "bigger" in the weeks after surgery.  This is why compression, avoiding working out and other strategies are employed to minimize swelling.  For peace of mind it is best to have the plastic surgeon show you with a physical exam exactly what is going on.
